REVOLVING HANDLE FOR ROLLING-PINS, &.C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,149, dated February 5, 1889. Application filed June 6, 1888. $erial No. 276,211. (No model.)

To (all whom it may concern; Be it known that 1, JOHN II. SUNIDERMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing atl Quincy, in the county of Adams and State of l Illinois, have invented new and useful Iml provements in Revolving Handles for Rollin gl Pins and the Like, of which the following is i a specification. i My invention relates to improvements in l handles for rolling-pins; and it consists in certain novel features hereinafter described l and claimed. i In the drawings, Figure l is a side view of l a rolling-pin provided with my improved hani die. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view of the handle, and Fig. lis a view showing the handle provided with a plug. Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the rolling-pin, which is of the usual l solid cylindrical form, and is provided in its t ends with the central longitudinal bores a. l These bores may, if so desired, extend entirely through the pin, as shown in dotted lines 5 in Fig. 2. l The handles l are provided with central l longitudinal bores c, which are of a slightly 5 larger diameter than the bores of the rollingpin, and are enlarged at their outer ends, as 1 shown at 1), thereby providing the annularl shoulder e. l C designates pegs or pins, which are cylindrical and provided at their outer ends with the enlarged circular heads (7, adapted to contact with the annular shoulders 6 when the pegs are inserted through the bores of the handles, as clearly shown. The pegs are of such diameters that they will pass loosely tl'irough the bores of the handles, but will lit l snugly in the bores of the rolling-pin, and

inserted through the handles and into the rolling-pin, so that when they engage the bores of the rolling-pin they will be firmly secured therein. The heads of the pegs are of proper diameter to entirely close the bores of the handles, and their ends are arranged flush with the ends of the handles, as shown.

The construction just described and shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 is very efficient; but that shown in Fig. twill be found preferable. In this form the enlarged portion 1) of the bore of the handleis provided with a second annular shoulder, f, concentric with the shoulder 6.

A plug, D, having an annular shoulder, g, is inserted in the open end of the bore of the handle, and is of a proper diameter to fit snugly therein, so that it will not be displaced. The annular shoulder of the plug contacts-with the annular shoulder handle, and thereby prevents the plug being driven so far into the handle that it cannot be easily withdrawn when desired for any purpose. The outer end of the plug has its surface flush with the surface of the handle, so as to present no obstructions which are liable to render the device inconvenient to handle. The plug is secured tightly in the handle, so as to leave no cracks or spaces through which flour, meal, dust, or other matter can pass into the bore of the handle to accumulate therein and around the pegs, so that the pegs cannot easily rotate.

Having described my invention, I claim 1. A solid rolling-pin, A, having the pegs C rigidly secured therein and projecting therefrom, and having the heads (1 at the outer ends, and the revolving handles B, loosely mounted on the pegs and recessed at b to entirely receive the heads of the pegs within the handles, so that no portion of the pegheads will project beyond the handles, as set forth.

2. A solid rolling-pin, A, having the pegs C rigidly secured therein and projecting therefrom, and having the heads (I, and the revolving handles 13, mounted on the pegs and recessed at b to receive the heads of the pegs within the handles, and the caps to close the outer ends of the recesses, as Stl? forth.

3. As a new article of manufacture, the solid rolling-pin having the bores a in its ends, the handles 13, having the bores c and the countersunk enlargements l) at their outer ends, the pegs 0, passed through the bores c of the handles and secured in the bores a of the pin, said pegs having the enlarged heads d in the enlargements b of the handles, and the plugs l) in the outer ends of said enlargements, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own. I have hereto altixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN H, SUNDERMAN.
